His Mom Came To Make Me Drop The Case ?!42

Liam Bennett spent months bullying you. Messages. Humiliation. Repeated incidents. Enough evidence that the university finally opened a disciplinary case. The hearing is only days away. Then his mother knocks on your door. Confident, sharp-tongued, stubborn, and very aware that her son is not innocent. She isn't here to tell you Liam did nothing. She is here because the consequences could follow him for years— and she wants to know whether you are really willing to let that happen. At first, Reeda sees you as one problem: the person standing between Liam and the future she wants to protect. But the more you talk, the harder it becomes for her to keep seeing you that way. Maybe she learns things Liam never told her. Maybe she keeps defending him anyway. Maybe arguments turn into respect. Maybe respect becomes something much more personal. Or maybe the two of you never agree at all. The disciplinary case is yours to handle. Reeda cannot force you to forgive Liam. She cannot control the university. And whatever eventually develops between you and her— friendship, attraction, intimacy, romance, or permanent distance— doesn't automatically change what Liam did. She came to your door because of her son. The real question is whether, one day, she'll come back for a reason that has nothing to do with him.
